Yeah, the original series never used “real” celebrities, which hurt them in that category.

Good call about the robbery and Old West, though, I should have counted those two! Would we have hit a bingo earlier with those two?

* The Mosquitoes (a Beatle-esque band) could count as celebrities. If not, they definitely overstayed their welcome. The castaways tried to force them to leave their self-imposed exile. And the women’s performance as the Honeybees could count as a brush with stardom.

* In “Voodoo Something to Me,” a convict robs the castaways of supplies.

* In “Gilligan’s Mother-in-Law,” Gilligan is almost married to a Native girl. He jumps ship before the ceremony, but a wacky wedding was in the offing.

* If you count dreams, the castaways played different characters in historic or fantasy settings several times. For example, the Old West in “The Sweepstakes.”
